[Sometimes God calls His angels... too soon.]
|
|
Ah...
|
It was another day
|
Perfect Texas afternoon
|
Mother and two children play
|
The way they always do
|
As they raced home from the mailbox
|
A mother and her son
|
Against a little girl of six years old
|
The independent one
|
|
Ah...
|
The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood
|
They said I got some news to tell you folks
|
I'm afraid it ain't so good
|
Somehow something happened
|
Someone got away
|
Someone got the answers for what happened here today
|
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
|
|
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
|
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
|
|
Now the people from the papers
|
And the local TV news tried to find the reason
|
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
|
Someone shouted "Hit and run"
|
The coroner cried "Foul"
|
Her blue dress was what she wore
|
The day they laid her body down
|
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
|
|
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
|
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
|
No...
|
|
[Guitar solo]
|
|
I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill
|
And no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever will
|
Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed
|
The flames are all around you
|
How you gonna sleep again ?
|
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
|
|
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
|
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
|
|
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
|
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
